"In my opinion, GiveDirectly did a splendid job in my region. This is evident in the appearance of the whole village, our houses are now iron-roofed, every compound has livestock and our children are now in school. This was all achieved because during the enrolment there was no discrimination everyone was fairly registered. To add to this majority of the people in my village now have mobile phones, which has eased up our communication."

"The biggest difference in my life today is that I now have a decent house, I was unable to do the completion due to lack of funds, in addition to that I no longer buy milk daily, this is because I get to milk the dairy cow that I bought where I get at least 2litres of milk daily which is enough for our daily consumption, thus cutting down on the cost of buying milk daily, we are all grateful for the support that has lifted our living standards amazingly."

"The biggest difference in my life today is that I now have a decent place to live, it is spacious, we no longer cook and sleep in the same room, this will also mean that our health generally would improve, we will no longer worry about the smoke affecting our eyes or lungs, I am happy and grateful for the support that has lifted our living standards."

"My son had completed his education but unfortunately, he was unable to collect his certificates due to unreliable sources of income, this is because I work as a casual labourer in the village, The transfer came as a relief in our lives because I knew that I will be able to clear the pending school fees allowance for my son, thus upon receiving the money I used KES 21,000 in paying the school fees arrears I then used KES 10,000 in starting a poultry project, in addition to that I gave my son KES 20,000 so that he could add to his savings to enable him to acquire a parcel of land, lastly, I bought foodstuffs and clothes with the remaining amount, I am so happy that I was able to accomplish so much just the way I had planned before."

"The biggest difference in my life today is that I no longer buy milk daily for my daily consumption, this is because I was able to buy a dairy cow with the transfer that I had received from GiveDirectly, I had a cow before but unfortunately, it died, after that, I was unable to buy one before due to financial constraints. I am grateful that finally, I was able to realize my goals within a short time."

"I am a local businesswoman in the village where I sell cereals, the business is not well established because I do sell the cereals in small quantities, thus I never had enough money to construct a house for my son, the transfer came as a relief in our lives because I was able to construct a small house for my son at KES 10,000, I then paid a debt worth KES 15,000, In addition to that I used KES 6000 on medication, lastly I used the remaining amount of money on clothes and foodstuffs. I was unable to accomplish all these due to financial constraints as a result of unreliable source of income, I am forever grateful for the support that transformed my life"

"The moment I received my transfer, I was at home preparing dinner, that was when I heard my phone ringing, upon checking I saw a Mpesa notification showing that I heard received a sum of KES 55,000, this was the happiest day in my life, while I was still in excitement, my helper came in to inform me that she too had received her transfer, it was a day like no other and the excitement was written all over our faces, we then embarked on planing on where and how we would cash out the money."

"Yes, I had a new goal which was to buy some new beddings like a new bed and mattresses. For years I have been sleeping on the traditional beddings which I was always complaining of back pains. By am sure by having them would have been a great relief to me."
